# Disabling Two-Factor Authentication for Reseller Child Accounts

In order to disable Two-Factor Authentication for a child cPanel account (owned by a [reseller host](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/reseller-hosting) cPanel account), you will need to log into WHM and remove Two-Factor Authentication for that cPanel user. Following the instructions below, you will learn how to **disable Two-Factor Authentication** (*2FA*) for a child cPanel account you own.
